An inordinate amount of time, Finster. Ha! The true story is that in the early 90's, my best VW buddy told me he saw this and while I thought it was interesting that a Bus was featured, I didn't go out of my way to track the movie down until recently when I thought about celebrities with VWs, so I Googled it and found it. Now I know there's a practical use for a nose-mounted spare tire on a Bus. I've never favored nose-mounted spare tires. |
So you are saying that through your "research" you discovered Ron found a new reason to mount the spare on the nose? _________________ Rust NEVER sleeps and stock never goes out of style.
Please don't PM technical questions, ask your problem in public so everyone can play along. If you think it's too stupid post it here
Stop dead photo links! Post your photos to The Samba Gallery!

I just heard on the radio, that Ron is suffering from dementia and is in a home where he thinks he’s shooting an adult film and the nurses are the cast. He’s probably faking the illness to avoid all the sexual harassment changes pending against him. _________________ 1973 standard, yellow, lowered, 3” narrowed front, 1600 blo-thru turbo w/single dell 15.4@86, so far

NASCAR driver Daniel Suarez:
"I really like all kinds of classic cars, but there’s a special place in my heart for old-school Volkswagens, whether they be “Combis” or “Vochos” (Latin American slang for VW “Buses” and “Beetles”). I grew up around them and that’s why I gravitate towards them so much."

When he came to the US from Mexico to pursue being a Nascar driver, he was in a Beetle.
I've not met the guy but he's friends with people I know and they all say he's a cool guy.
Despite growing up in the South I never gave two shits about nascar but I find myself checking results now just to see how he's doing. _________________ All he needed was a wheel in his hand and four on the road.
